EPI and blood pressure

[bossbaker]

im running a epistane cycle and bumped up to 40 a day blood pressure went up up an away i also got bad headaches, so i dropped back down to 30 and started some hawthorne. Question is do you think dropping back down will hurt gains much / is it bad to go up and down? it has only been one day at 30 with the hawthorne and upped fished oil and water added but my bp has dropped back down to 136/69 (seems safe) question number two: will it be safe to bump back up to 40 in a day or so? Question number three: should i avoid caffeine AKA pre workout drinks?



Thanks for your help muscle gods!

Up your water intake, watch the sodium. It may hurt your gains a little bit, but you have to listen to your body. It says too much for now. With BP issues, definitely stay away from preworkouts.

I just bumped up my dose of epi to 40mg a day for week 2 (week 1 was 30mg per day)....I checked my BP and it was still pretty decent, up near the top of normal range....so 4 days at 40mg didn't spike my BP much, but I've been steady taking 6 hawhtorn and 2 lisinopril per day....so that seems to be keeping the BP in check so far. I notice a bit of a raise in heart rate, but its transient...which is kind of weird. I'll check it again monday or tuesday which is end of week 2 beginning of week 3.....
